We tend to not do that Stadium Hero '96 title screen says 'Data East's Stadium Hero 96' but nobody really calls the game that. likewise the Golden Tee games. If there were versions with / without the endorsement it would make sense, but otherwise it's just fluff. |

Deciding it on a case-by-case basis isn't a bad thing tho, this game is more typically just referred to as 'Fighting Golf' The name just feels tacked on, look at the title screen, it isn't even listed with the title, just in a box below. there are a couple on the list you've posted where I wouldn't bother with the celebrity name personally, and others where it really is a key part of the title. in this case I really don't think it warrants it, the title of the game is unique enough in it's own right without fluffing it up, we've never had a policy of including EVERY word that appears on a title screen otherwise we'd end up with some very silly descriptions (eg. Action Puzzle Soldam What an Exciting Game!!) Messing with descriptions and other silly little changes is usually a good way to annoy devs, I would have thought the reverting of your previous change would have told you this. |

You'd think that a game called "Fighting Golf" would involve some fighting.... Anyway, back on track, closing this as NCR as per Haze's recommendation. If anyone wants to make some title changes, open a new bug with a list of what you think should be changed and why. Let's use a catch-all bug if anyone is really that gung-ho about changing these titles. |
